Sharieka Wright

Sharieka Wright serves as a Contract Specialist within the 241-NETWORK Contract Office 01 (36C241) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements for mission-critical healthcare infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—focused primarily on advanced medical devices, electromedical equipment, and facility support systems essential to VA medical centers. Wright ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the VA’s strategic imperative to modernize clinical capabilities and maintain operational readiness across the national healthcare network. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, P.D.S. CONSULTANTS, INC., L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and SOUTH MIDDLESEX OPPORTUNITY COUNCIL, INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing, combining established prime contractors with specialized service providers and community-based organizations. Wright’s procurement patterns emphasize technical precision and reliability, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in medical-grade equipment installation, maintenance, and compliance-driven service delivery. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 69% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she actively prioritizes socioeconomic opportunities, particularly for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), which account for 22.5% of her awards. Total small business participation under FAR 19.5 reaches 8.5%, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster vendor diversity while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. Wright’s technical focus centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring precision surgical tools, diagnostic instrumentation, and electromedical devices. She routinely manages acquisitions involving FDA-regulated equipment, sterile processing systems, and clinical support technologies critical to veteran healthcare delivery.
